Summary
Dave wasn't shocked when Dirk came to him to say he'd fucked up. Fucking up seemed to be the typical Strider skill at this point, especially his brother. But when he'd told him that he'd somehow merged different splinters into himself and that they were fighting for his body, he wasn't so sure if Dirk was telling an awful joke, or if he had genuinely made the biggest of all fucking mistakes.
Quickly, he realised, it wasn't a joke at all.
And oh boy. Dirks were insufferable.

Summary
Dave Strider, 30, has a problem: His formerly comfortable life in New Alternia Hills has been slowly uprooted over the past three years. His sister, Rose, moved away and left him her old house three months ago. After what feels like a lifetime of trying to find a new friend group, he breaks down and lets his ridiculously wealthy twin pay for some convoluted "rent-a-friend" scheme.
Karkat Vantas, 25, needs $20,000 to pay off his student loans, and he thinks he's found a (mostly) painless way to do it. All he has to do is avoid falling for his (admittedly pretty hot) employer.
Clearly, nothing can go wrong here.

Summary
Your name is Karkat Vantas, and Feferi said you weren't allowed to sleep today. The sun is almost fully up, but instead of being burrowed deep into your pile of bedding at home, you are awkwardly standing in the grand hall. Clad in borrowed formal wear, you wait impatiently for your 'guest.'
Your name is Dave Lalonde, and you’re getting married. To a troll. A troll that you haven't even met yet... You just hope it'll be over with quickly.
Karkat and Dave are noble fae of different species, whose kingdoms were entwined in a loose pact for trade and peace. To strengthen ties, the kingdoms agree to an arranged marriage between their people - Karkat asked to represent the Trolls, and Dave practically forced against his will so the Fairies could be rid of him.
Written for DaveKat Week 2025! Encompasses the last two prompts, parting and reunion ^.^

Summary
The game was never really meant to be won. It's output, the universe John could never really call home, is cursed. So when John and Calliope are faced with two, equally bad options, they decide to go for a third.
What if instead of destroying Lord English, they made sure he never existed in the first place? Maybe it really was possible to fix everything. To truly have a happy ending.
So John (now with Aradia by his side), reluctantly prepares for another retcon. And, unbeknownst to everyone but her, Calliope calls in a favor. For a fleeting moment, a perfect future is within their grasp.
However, when faced with "canon" once again, they find out the hard way that it could never be that easy. Every win comes with a brutal sacrifice, by the time they realize, it's too late. Not wanting to doom the timeline they created, their only hope is that, perhaps, the path to heaven goes through hell first.

Summary
All they had to do was make it 791 days apart. Just a single a sweep. Then, Karkat would be done serving in the Alternian Peace Coalition, and get a full ride to any university of his choosing. The thing is, would he be able to last that long without Dave? And how would Dave last without him? Only time will tell.

Summary
In the interest of cultural sharing between two planets recently at peace, Karkat Vantas has opened a blog on a shared social media site, to schoolfeed humans on the nuances of quality cinema.
In the interest of doing some dumb bullshit and making hella money, Dave Strider has just released Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff: The Movovie, the latest in his oeuvre.
The thing is though, SBaHJ has never just been dumb bullshit. And somehow, Karkat Vantas is the first person to notice. A revelatory review somehow snowballs into a whole new era for Earth-Alternia diplomatic relations, and said dumb bullshit lands Karkat and Dave right in the middle.

Summary
“Jesus,” you breathe.
You just sort of stare at each other for a minute. It’s much less intense than your stare-offs with Karkat — in that you can at least continue to feel the flow of time around you — but there's still an undoubtable tension. The other Dave is openly staring at your lips with hunger. You’ve brought your eyeline back up, but you’ve never been more sure that you look absolutely starved.
You swallow the saliva gathering in your mouth before you answer.
“Okay,” you say. It comes out more like a squeak.
You are Dave Strider and you’ve never kissed another person before. And technically you still haven’t.

Space travel is hard enough without factoring in what evils lurk between the stars. Leading a ship is hard enough without everything starting to go wrong.
And why do the lights keep flickering in electrical?
Pretty sus, right?

Summary
"Karkat. Kat. My main dude."
"…Yes?"
"Are you home? Can you come over? I think I need—" You hear a crash, as if Dave just dropped the phone? He says something else that you don't catch before you hear some shuffling and he seemingly picks the phone back up. "I need an adult."
"You are an adult, but okay."

Summary
Dave Strider knows tragedy.
Between waking up dead, watching everyone he loves reel from the loss, and existing only as a ghost - yeah, he's intimately fucking aware of just how tragic life can be. He would give anything at all to be able to talk to someone, anyone. How can it get worse than this?
When he finds the one person that can see him, Dave gets his answer. The only one who can see him is the person he hates most in the world - Karkat Vantas.
Can he just die again instead?

Summary
"Man, just cause I'm human and your boyfriend doesn't mean we can't do your stuff too, that's like the thing about relationships and shit. Is this something you...would wanna try?"
You take his hands softly and he looks away shyly. His cheeks are burning.
"If it's weird, we really don't have to-"
You stop him.
"Did I ask if I wanted to try it, or did I ask if you wanted to try it."

Summary
You watch as a blonde human woman walks past the shop, going out of sight for a brief moment before she immediately doubles back and comes into view again. She pauses outside the window, as if considering something. You note that, despite it being completely overcast today, she is wearing dark sunglasses. She also looks kind of familiar? You can't quite place her, though.

Summary
Karkat practically flies up the stairs to the meteor’s roof. He can’t hear anything over his own breathing, but he feels the snapping of blood from blood.
He feels when things are wrong. And oh fuck, are they ever wrong. He feels like he’s going to throw up, but he just forces himself to fall up the steps even faster. Don’t be late again. Don’t fucking do that, Vantas.
He stumbles out, heaving in breaths as he takes in the scene, brain working furiously to compensate for the terror thrumming in his veins and the pounding of his head.
